Obama Suggests He Will Win Because Romney ‘Alienated’ Latinos | If he is re-elected on Nov. 6, President Obama told the Des Moines Register that “a big reason I will win a second term is because the Republican nominee and the Republican Party have so alienated the fastest-growing demographic group in the country, the Latino community,” according to a transcript of the phone call. Mitt Romney staked out the most extreme immigration positions during the GOP primary, and Hispanic voters have remained skeptical of the GOP candidate who has promised to veto the DREAM Act and supports self-deportation policies. A recent poll shows that 74 percent of Latino voters support Obama compared to Romney’s 26 percent — far from the Romney campaign’s stated goal of winning 38 percent among Latinos.
